    ....his actions with Iran and Israel are extremely terrible for peace.

    His massive giveaway to them gave some crumbs to the middle class,

    Keep telling middle class people that the extra money in their paycheck is "crumbs".

    Trump supporters live in a fantasy world thinking his propaganda about things improving for everyone is true.

    Maybe not everyone, but individuals know whether things are improving for them or not. Unemployed people see the help wanted signs. Middle class people see the extra money in their paycheck. Investors see their 401k balance.

    If he's stupid

    - He will fall into Mueller's trap and obstruct justice or lie under oath or lie to investigators and get caught doing it.
    - He will never get concessions out of China on Trade.
    - He won't be able to get prison reform passed.
    - He will never be re-elected.

    The Mueller thing is supposed to be wrapped up this fall. Let's see if Trump is stupid.

    Yes. The universe owed it to Obama to behave ideally. Whenever anything in the universe fell short, it was the universe's fault, never Obama's. With the universe constantly failing him, there was no way he could accomplish his goals. It's very sad. Don't you feel sad?

    There's no such expectation of Trump. Trump will have to succeed or fail with the actual, non-ideal universe, based on his own actions.

    At least we won't have to feel sad.

    You could actually read my "entire argument". My posts are only a couple sentences each and there aren't many of them.

    Phony indictments of people you'll never face in court aren't an indication of anything. The thing you said was "clear" because of indictments and guilty pleas is not "clear" because neither the indictments nor the guilty pleas have any bearing on the Russian collusion story.

    Now you actually know the facts, so that's something.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/...

    The lawyer for one of the indicted companies told the court that the other indicted company didn't even exist during the time the "crimes" were committed. If you still think it's all "clear", (versus, you know, not entirely clear) then that's some motivated reasoning — which is what my original post talked about.

    ZTE stock has not traded since April 17th, when the ban was announced.

    No, no one pled guilty to colluding with Russians about the election. Or anything close to that. No one has been charged with foreign influence of the election. There are specific laws against that, but no one has been charged under those laws.

    There is however, clear evidence that Russia tried to influence the US election, and that people in the Trump campaign were involved in that.

    Same with "vaccines are poison", same with "government is coming for your guns", same with "SJWs are taking our video games away", same with anything involving Soros or the Koch brothers...

    Honestly, not really. "Vaccines are poison" is motivated by parents who want someone to blame for their difficulties. It's not really like conspiracy theories where the conspiracy theorist integrates his belief with his own ego.

    "Government is coming for your guns" is a precaution due to all the people in and out of government who advocate taking guns from people. It's exaggerated sometimes. But I'm personally not allowed to own the guns I want — the most popular rifle in the country— because the government in my state will imprison me for owning them. Tell a black kid visiting her father in prison for gun possession that the government is OK with guns.

    As for SJWs versus video games: SJWs are mean to people and the internet overreacts. Again, it's not like conspiracy theories.

    Soros and the Kochs exist. People sound dumb when they talk about them as shadowy villains. This comes closest to regular conspiracy theory thinking. I would say there's some overlap.
